It may sound like the plot of a spy thriller, but, unfortunately, it is no fiction. It appears as though Russian government hackers are indeed trying to derail Hillary and the Democrats in order to install Donald — an authoritarian with sympathies for rightwing extremism in Europe.

All of the people tantruming at the Democratic convention about the DNC email leak are, even if unwittingly, serving as Putin’s puppets. Because the truth is that the DNC did not rig the primary. Don’t take it from me. Take it from Symone Sanders, the former national press secretary for Bernie Sanders:

Look, people are well within their rights to have passions and opinions. That is how we create change in this country. We need the passion!!

It isn’t serving Bernie for his recalcitrant supporters to keep yelling about the DNC emails. It serves only Donald — and his BFF in Russia, who undoubtedly couldn’t be more delighted to see people doing his dirty work at the Democratic convention.
